Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, sensing more people entering the formation. What happened for so many people to enter the formation so suddenly?
Curious, he decided to check, but first...
"Everything check? Yeah, I'm perfect now."
...his appearance was important.
He knew he had an inferiority complex in his past life, so out of habit, he began checking if he was looking good or at least decent. After all, this would be the first time he would meet someone from this world, and he didn't want them to have a bad impression.
'Guess I'll need to work on my mindset too.'
He waved his hand as a giant mirror appeared before him. It reflected a young man standing at easily 185 centimeters with a lean body.
The young man had black hair with a red undertone and was wearing classic Xianxia red robes over black underneath. He had the bearing of a kind ruler, but anyone would be able to sense a terrifying beast hidden beneath the kindness.
Shen Yu smiled, looking at his handsome appearance. He didn't need the system to change it, as it was great already. He looked handsome and was definitely way above the models back on Earth. This was mainly because the previous Shen Yu was quite high in Cultivation, and as one rose in Cultivation realms, one's appearance improved, making them more charming.
"Guess it's time to check up on the guests."
Shen Yu smiled confidently, something he had never thought he would have. He clicked his fingers and disappeared from there. He didn't need to do the action to perform any action, but he felt like it was cooler this way.
The next moment he appeared, he was in front of a small lake. Of course, that was an illusion, and he knew of that. He had come here because he sensed a lone presence wandering around.
He crossed his hands on his chest and looked at the black robe figure staggering towards the lake. There was nothing in those hollow eyes, no clarity whatsoever. Her limbs hung weakly on her frail and pale body.
Shen Yu rubbed his chin and wondered if he should help her. He guessed she was being chased by some people who were also the ones to injure her. They were probably the same people who entered later.
"No harm in saving her. Maybe she'll become the first member of my sect."
Shen Yu smiled as he thanked the heaven for the change of luck. It seemed like the heavens were repaying the bad luck he had experienced back on Earth.
He stepped forward and caught the young lady in black robes before she could fall to the ground. Unfortunately, she had already lost consciousness and was only dragging herself through sheer willpower.
"She's a tough one. A perfect first disciple."
Shen Yu smiled and looked back, his eyes piercing through the illusion, and he looked at the five guests who were after the young woman. Just from their clothes and the killing intent they were radiating, he knew they were assassins.
"But what kind of assassin would let their killing intent let lose like that? Or maybe they're just too weak to cover it."
Shen Yu muttered and picked the young woman. Shaking his head in disappointment, Shen Yu stopped forward, disappearing from the illusion.
He appeared in the disciple quarters he had made and slowly laid the young woman in the comfortable bed. He looked at her state and thought.
'She looks exhausted, not only physically but mentally too. Guess I should let her rest after healing her body.'
Shen Yu decided to do that, raised his hand, and swirled his index finger in the empty air. Green wisps of strange Qi formed around his fingertips and hovered wherever Shen Yu wanted.
He then touched the young woman's forehead and let the green QI enter her body. It was a strand of Supreme Wood Elemental Qi, which was more than enough to remake her body.
The green QI passed around every corner and cell of her body and quickly healed everything. Even the ribs and guts that were spilling out were healed in no time.
Soon, the young woman's body was completely healed, and no one could say that she was injured looking at her state.
Shen Yu also restored her clothes and touched her forehead. He smiled and said.
"Hope you heal soon and be a part of this sect. Though for that, I'll have to see if you're worthy."
He then left the room to complete his work. There were a lot of things he needed to do for the sect and he was enjoying it a lot. It was like playing Minecraft but in real life.
He hovered above his sect and started his work. He was making eight areas: the Main hall, training grounds, living quarters, library and archives, alchemy lab and workshops, spiritual resources, defensive fortification, and finally, Administrative offices.
The name suggested what they would be used for, and Shen Yu believed it would be enough for a while. He would upgrade the sect if he took more disciples.
It took quite some time to make everything, as Shen Yu was giving his all to making the sect to his satisfaction. If something wasn't up to his standards, he would just destroy it and recreate it.
Time wasn't a problem for him since he was enjoying it. He finally got the freedom to do whatever he wanted, so he relished that feeling and did everything he wanted.
He didn't even realize when the whole day passed and night came. However, he didn't stop even at that as he was looking for even small details.
Even night passed, and Shen Yu only stopped in the morning when everything was complete. He smiled and wiped the imaginary sweat from his forehead.
Looking at his work with satisfaction, Shen Yu nodded.
"Now, this is something deserving to be my home."
He was very happy with it, but then he remembered there was someone in the sect. He sighed and scratched his head.
"Guess I should meet her now. Honestly, I'm way too nervous, but I need to take a step forward."
